By the time I find my way to the house, it was already dark. My tracking skills have improved, compared to hours spent last time.
I step into the house and there are conversations going around in the common room. I push through heading to my room before and excited June runs out from the group to meet me.
Hey Amelia, how was your date with the Alpha, did you enjoy it? I enjoyed mine, he was polite and held out my chair for me. Infact that is what everyone is discussing we are sharing how our dates went. She keeps talking animatedly about her date and I try to push past her and head up the stairs.
Hey, where are you going? She pulls me back smiling before her eyes finally drifts to my shirt. Why are you wearing a shirt?
She was unknowingly dragging attention to me.
June let's talk later. I bypass her only for one the southern girls to block me.
Hey, Zee how is your arm?
She frowns hard, before she smiles. Thanks your enlightening bathroom antics, my arm is...
Amelia went on a date? But I told her as I met her on her way to the date that the Alpha pushed her date till tomorrow. I told first before telling the matron and I am sure I saw her cross it out in her planner. How come she still went on the date?
Now all attention was on me. Great . Thanks June.
Why are you wearing a shirt? Zee steps forward and tries to take it off me, I struggle with her
That was the shirt Alpha Kincaid wore to our date. Madeline cried.
Dammit!
Zee uses my distraction to tear the buttons of the shirt aside. She gasps as she does.
You slept with him
Her mouth round in shock. And collective gasps goes around the room.
You slut.
You seduced him
Cheap whore. the insults fly around.
The Alpha's meal indeed. pa. a girl spits to the floor.
Look at how torn her dress is and the grass in her hair. He probably didn't think to take a dirty thing such as herself to his bed and had her in the bush like the wild animal she is.
The front door burst open and the remaining southern girls come in followed by the other girls from the other house.
What is this I hear about Amelia sleeping with Alpha Kincaid.
gasps it is true. The slutty bitch. she took him from right under our noses.
The outrage begins afresh with insults pouring left and right.
I Run to my room, locking my door behind me. Sinking to the ground and I cry as slightly as I can. After a while I stop crying, done feeling sorry for myself.
I pull off everything I am wearing and everything I am wearing is a tattered remains of my dress and his shirt. My panties are missing in action and I didn't wear a bra because the dress didn't require one.
Shoving them deep into my bag, i make a mental note to burn it. Tying my towel, I square my shoulders, ready to face the mob.
As I step out I am assailed with insults.
How dare you?
June was seated somewhere crying and she wasn't the only one.
How could you Amelia? He belonged to all of us.
First of all, Alpha Kincaid belongs to nobody except who he chooses as Alpha. Secondly, what happened between he and I is frankly none of your business. Thirdly, stop acting like hypocrites, I know all of you here will spread your legs wide open to him should he show the slightest interest. And Lastly, He didn't mark me, so no fear, you can still compete for him.
Ladies, I hope you all see clearly. This is what happens when you forget why you are here. Zee standing in front of the other 14 remaining girls from southern pack, as she addresses the rest of the contestants (How this many of them still remained beats me) .
Looking each of them in the eye. We all here for the same thing and unfortunately only one of us can have it. And that person will be me
Hisses go round the room.
I ignore their drama and head to the shower. Stripping myself of my shower, I let the warm water cascade my body a bit before I reach for the soap.

It's not your fault.

It's not... I break down and cry in the shower, trying to sob as quietly as I can. Hopefully the shower will remove whatever sounds that may arise.
